Two Fires Within a Few Minutes Of
Each Other.

About o'clock last night an alarm OF
fire was sent in from the corner of Har-
wood and Main streets, where the de-
partments responded promptly. The
fire was discovered in the house adjoin-
ing the city property at that point. in
in which was living Mrs. Graul. The
alarm was given by Mr.. w. V. Botto,
who was in the ice-cream saloon at the
time, adjoining the building. The prop
erty was owned by A. l.. Patterson.
The damage was about $3.50. The fire
originated in the kitchen from defec-

OBITUARY.

Mr. A. o. Borden, one of DALAI !
active builders and contractors is rest-(
ing under the shadow of great grief.
A large company of sympathizing
friends met on Yesterday at his residence
on Cottage Lane to comfort the parents
and one remaining daughter in their
sad bereavement, and to bear the re-
mains of their little six year old darling
girl to the grave. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. d. p. Haggard. How
sweet is human sympathy under such
trying ordeals as this, but oh how much
more sweet and solid comfort II found
in the christians hope of a blessed i'm
mortality beyond the grave. These buds
are broken off here to be transplanted
and bloom forever in the garden Of the
Lord
"Take these little lambs said He,
And lay them in my breast
Protection they shall find in me,
In me, be ever blest."

There was a fair audience

of the First Presbyterian Church. Mrs,

presented several pieces much to the
credit of herself and delight of the
audience. She is good, clear reader
and delincator ofcharacter.
Little Miss Fannie Ling, sweet
chill or years old, came out before
the curtain was raised and sang
song "To Baby" in voice and man
ner which charmed the audience and
won hearty applause. Then the fol-

HIILsBoRo, June 23.--I SEQ the
Waco Examiner Of the 21st inst, re-
peats the questions asked by Col.
G. ]. Goodwin, ofBrownwood, early
In the campaign, of the chairman of
the Prohibition Executive committee,
which the Examiner says have not
been answered until this good mo-
ment. The questions are as follows:
1. Was the Prohibition party organized
in Texas for political purposes or for the
sole object of prohibiting the manufacture
and sale Of Intoxicating drinkss
g. Why do not the executive committee
declare their object and purposes In the
campaign
Q, Is 1t the intention of the prohibition
party to keep up Its political organization
in the opposition to the democratic party
after the election in August
A little knowledge of chemistry to-
gcther with a few words ofexplanation
and political application, will, in the
light of facts now potent to all rem
der any further answer I'M
necessary. Democracy in its
normal condition is as clear
and transparent as crystal but for
years past certain solid now known
as "True Blues" has rendered its liq-
uid crystal clearness. quite mushey,
indeed almost Opaque, being held in
solution by Democracy. The object of
the third party chemical parlance, was
to cause this blue solid thus held in
solution to precipitate to the bottom
of the Texas jar or receiver in which
this limpid democracy originally ex-
listed, SO that at the next State cleo
ton those blue dregs could be drawn
off and leave Texas democracy in its
original pure state. No one since the
Dallas "True Blue convention doubts
the ability of DIR. Carroll and his CO.
workers as first class political and
moral chemists. The third or last
question will hardly need categorical
reply since it will be seen that puri-
fed democracy will be fully able to
take care of the whisky and saloon
question without the aid Of third
party and it may yet occur in these
rapid kaleidoscope changes that pu-
rifled democracy once rid of that ele-
ment that befouled its clear waters by
dominating its whole policy, will rise
in the majesty of its purified state and
redeem our whole land from worse
and more general thraldom than that
of human slavery. W.D. X.

THE tip-toe world will breathe freer
when it knows that John L. Sullivan
assures it that he sis not drinking a
drop now" What relief this must
be to those who were in dread that he
was drinking by the gallon. We
could stand his disabled arm; we
could condone his brag about batter
ing Smith and knocking bells out of
Cardiff twas it the petrifed giant p;
but when we were told by the wires
that he and the "gentlemanly and
urbane Sheedy" had interrupted
nights painting of the city of Lead
vile carmine to attend church, we
feared that our only Sullivan had
been drinking more than a drop. To
be assured, ea-cathedra, that our an
ticipations were iil-founded is glorious
news. No wonder the wires are max
ing music as they bear along the glad
tidings nor that the astonished stars
twinkle more brightly in their
spheres; nor that this goodly earth is
jocund with joy to know that he, the
slogger of sloggers, sis not drinking
a drop now" We can resume the
discussion of the tax on whisky with
perfect equanimity now. If Sullivan
has stopped, there will be enough for
all.

make us believe that our streets we're

paving. "Why," said he, "during
ten months in the year, they are SIM
ply the best in the world" We sug-
gested chat if they were properly
paved they would be good all the
year round; but he told US they
would be spoiled for horses on ac-
count of their hardness and durabil-
ity. We thought to ourselves that
during the two off months they are
spoiled for pedestrians by their soft
ness and durability.

HARPER's WEEKLY says the voters
of the United States, and not the
Democratic party, elected Cleveland
to the Office of President. Who
would the voters have voted for if
Cleveland had not been nominated
by the Democratic party? This eff
fort to refine away the power of par
ties and their responsibility will not
do. A scrub race for the Presidency
can never be permitted as long as the
great mass of the people are divided
upon distinctive lines OF national
policy.
